Tinker on.

[TightEnd]

Is there room for Vardy and Musa in same team? Both seem like off the shoulder type of strikers. Will be interesting how they fit in.

they are similar, though Musa more often has played wide for both CSKA and Nigeria. Last night was really the first game where he looked to be settled in a bit and showed some of the potential us fans have seen on the you tubes....

i think he'd try to fit them both in, maybe Musa (and Mahrez if he stays) behind Vardy, especially against the big teams where we could really offer a potent threat on the counter and force the opponent to defend deep

the major outstanding issue is who will play defensive midfield next to Drinkwater.

can they play 4-4-2 without Kante (who allowed us to be one light in midfield last year, and won the ball often unexpectedly allowing us to transition when the opponent wasn't set) or does it need to be 4-3-3/4-5-1 the main issue

PSG and Barca cut through us at will but thats PSG and Barca, maybe its not going to be so pronounced in the premier league.

i put up the other day...

something like


                Schmeichel

Simpson  Huth  Morgan  Fuchs

        King Drinkwater Amartey

         Mahrez       Musa
                  Vardy

with plenty of depth (the squad is far stronger than last season) with Chilwell, Hernandez, wasilewski, mendy, james, gray, albrighton, schlupp, okazaki and ulloa to rotate in

and probably a couple of lumps to spend before Aug 30th.

I wouldn't fancy defending to far against that front 3.

I wouldn't fancy defending too far up against that front 3.

Leicester City chairman has bought each player who helped win the Premier League a brand new BMW i8.

not the worst morning to have been the Sytner Leicester salesman who picked up the call......

[pleno1]

how were you yesterday? i didnt catch the game.

a bit pedestrian first half, and conceded a goal that we never would have conceded last year. the midfield combination with drinkwater remains the pressing issue

secod half with musa and vardy through the middle and gray/mahrez out wide was like watching a sprint relay team. we are going to scare teams witless on the counter

set against that Mourinho played us quite the complement, the back four defended the 18 yard box and set up to give no space in behind. that will be a major challenge this season, having to break teams down more

still, while we aren't at last year's level yet enough signs to show we are going to be competitive again

[flushthemout]

Top ten Spot Rich? Not confident of our season to be fair, Obv need to improve in the defence, signings are decent but not having them available right now is my concern.

[George2Loose]

Think Musa will start or be a regular?

[TightEnd]

top ten yes. 7th-10th sort of area, if we run well maybe a touch higher. top of the table is tougher this year compared to last

a couple more players due in, i gather.

get to 40 points same as 2/3 of the division then re-evaluate in practice.

[TightEnd]

Think Musa will start or be a regular?

i would like to think a regular, but maybe not yet.

on very limited evidence i like him in behind Vardy but the looming issue in front of the back four might mean a more conservative approach and Musa on the bench for now

i would really like the pair on the counter in champions league away matches

Paul Mitchell could be your best signing of the summer.

Disappointed to lose him.

[Tal]

He was spurs' head of recruitment, having left Southampton.

[NoCardDSC]

Claudio Ranieri unsurprisingly signing a new contract which will see him through to 2020.

[TightEnd]

I wish LCFC were more careful with these pictures. They've completely given away our defensive formation now

interestingly, no compensation clause in the new contract. now on £3m per.

Riyad Mahrez agrees not to leave Leicester City in current transfer window

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/aug/10/riyad-mahrez-not-leave-leicester?CMP=share_btn_tw

good news short term

there is no release clause and he has 3 years left, and we're not selling

pretty likely for january or next summer i'd say. tea leaves are he would like to go but will stay for now
